can we start with persuading them to allow wii-mote nunchucks? i mean adjusting to a stage is bad... but not being able to compete because you use the default controller for a system... absurd

I feel for you pstar. I hope the discrimination against your kind ceases soon.

As am I.
But you said that you'd make a presentation for why they're bad, so I'll wait for that.
I kinda disagree. Even if it's against the norm, there's no problem with asking what's wrong with the stages.
I don't have a philosophy class... the only school work I do is studying for my CHSPE in October (I'm homeschooled
)Nah I learned those terms just from debating on various sites for the last two years.
Maybe if I used them in other circumstances I would look like an ******* or something to that effect.
But in a debate, I don't see any problem with pointing out how, and why, someone's argument is fallacious. I mean, that's what debate is for, right?
Half the fun of playing Brawl competetively for me is debating things like ruleset issues and such (since I'm awful at actually PLAYING Brawl lol).

Very good opening thread for this AlphaZealot. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this event. However, I'll be in Florida for the next two years starting in July. haha. So maybe in the future.

Alright guys. I'm in Nashville for the MLG Combine so I have sparse internet access. However I do have some news:
-The TV's have very, very minimal lag. Roughly 1/3rd of a frame. You should be able to adapt to the lag within a match or two, however if you are someone who is extremely sensitive and cannot adapt quickly then you should make sure to use the scheduled warm up periods to prepare.
-We have sold out of the first 128 passes and now registration is capped at 256 (previously 128). The cap will likely not increase passed that, so buy your passes while they last. I don't have/know the official count but I believe there are at least 50-75 passes still available.
I'm going to try to talk to some people and see if some exceptions can be made for wii-remote users who already purchased passes and plane tickets, however I would not hold your breath on this issue since it is a technical one. The best thing I can recommend at this point is to prepare for the worst and purchase/borrow a GCN controller and begin practicing up. I know it is not an ideal solution/what you guys want to hear, but the reality of the situation is an MLG event is not like your run-of-the-mill underground tournament. Almost none of you guys have ever seen anything even close to the scale of an MLG event (it costs over $1,000,000 just to put on an event). Even the players who were around in 2006 do not know how huge the events have become and how many electronics are run through the venue and how many signals are floating through the air. If the technical guys say they can't allow the use of wii remotes, then we simply can't allow it.

Ohh and if I take the springs out of my controller, what exactly do I gain from it. I just never really looked In to that stuff but I just want to know.
Thanks in advance

In brawl there really isn't a need to remove the springs.
In melee it makes a slight advantage.
Lack of wiimotes is still stupid, I don't care how many new technical aspects are included now. If I don't see or know anyone that has actually tested for this "interference" then I won't believe that it does cuase interference. Good luck to my fellow wiimote/nunchuck/classic controller users.
*goes to play with my classic controller pro

i dont know why they can't just include a disclaimer that by using a wiimote you risk interference which could possibly lose you a match. that way they know what they're getting into and it totally their fault if they lose because of it.

I wonder how the mlg contracts will be...i remember those contracts were pretty strict. XD
Lobos
Smash Master
The other reason was because it "might" cause interference to the equipment. lol makes me want to "live the dream" on some hoes!!!!

is their equipment directly inbetween the tv and the wii? -,- lmao come on mlg...

well let me play devils advocate.
Did you know that with todays technology on airplanes it is safe to use your cell phone?
Do you know why they ban it though? It is because, with new technology there is still a chance it might happen. So they rather be safe then sorry.
For those who have not been to an MLG let me set the scenario for you.
Brawl is happening and it allows wiimotes and sponsors are all over. The place looks more like an expo than a tournament ( it really does tournament areas are not the focus its the booths ). Everywhere you look there are reps from Dr. Pepper, ESPN, Strider gum and whoever is there representing a company. All of a sudden someone heres on the loud speaker.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE WHOEVER HAS THEIR WIIMOTE ON PLEASE TURN IT OFF U PRESSED THE HOME SCREEN BY ACCIDENT"
this is of course worst case since we already know we can desync it without doing something but you get the point I hope.
It is better to be safe then sorry. Now what AZ is doing is great and it helps those select few who already bought their tickets but the fact remains is that people will have to go to play-asia or ebay and find new/used gamecube controllers to play smash with. It is a great inconvenience to those who learned it with wiimotes/Cc/nunchuck but , to be frank, it is more about the masses than just those in the minority. MLG would prefer everyone plug and play then deal with a possible syncing issue.
